| Jazeera TV says to air video from Zawahri | ||
| 2005-06-17 | ||
DUBAI (Reuters) - Arabic Channel Al Jazeera said it would air Friday a new video tape from al Qaeda's deputy leader Ayman al-Zawahri, in which he criticized U.S. plans for Middle East reform.
The television briefly aired footage of the Egyptian right-hand man of al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden wearing a white turban with a rifle by his side, but no audio could be heard. Al Jazeera said it would later air Friday fuller excerpts of the videotape.
Zawahri and bin Laden, believed to be hiding in the border region between Afghanistan and Pakistan, have eluded capture since the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks on U.S. cities carried out by al Qaeda. | ||

| #3 Perfect timing actually. We got the Dems and the Left clamoring about the Downing Street Memo where instead of telling all the analysts and intelligence people who were interviewed by the Senate panel to fix intelligence, we have the Administration telling some British spymaster. On top of that we have Dick Durbin's (my home state senator and yes I sent him a note) comments on the treatment of Al-Qaeda at Gitmo. Now we'll have Zawahri come and tie it all together. I'm sure he'l be making a Jihadist call to fight the infidels and the new governments in Afghanistan and Iraq. Thereby making those calling for a deadline on when to leave looking like useful fools giving aid and comfort. |

| #1 Why not the Big O? Why did he send in a second-stringer? Has he given up on public appearances? |
